This week we start our 30-date long European tour with the new 6-piece band and we are also very happy to announce our North America concert dates for 2013.

By the way, the North American tour will include a concert in Mexico City. Our very first visit to Mexico. Very happy about this.
(UPDATE - sorry but we are having problems with the Mexican date – hope to be able to confirm it soon)

Watch FM4 RADIO SESSION – Between The Walls, Black Summer & The Ghost LIVE

Back in September we had the pleasure of recording a FM4 Radio Session in Vienna at the beautiful Radiokulturhaus concert hall in Vienna. We played songs from our new album Piramida and were joined on stage by: Katinka Fogh Vindelev, Peter Broderick and Budgie (Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Creatures).

FM4 is a really great station and we want to thank them again for having us back in September. You can now watch a film with three of the songs we performed Between The Walls, Black Summer and The Ghost.

We will be present at the Berlin screening.
Plans for further screenings have yet to be announced and an official Trailer for The Ghost of Piramida will surface later. There is a post on 4AD’s website with more details as well.

THE GHOST OF PIRAMIDA
The Danish director Andreas Koefoed followed us on our 9 day trip to Piramida on Spitsbergen where our new album took its start last year. His film documents our visit to this former Russian mining town and it also beautifully tells the story of the ghost town through the eyes of a former resident.

The film premieres tonight in Copenhagen at the CPH:DOX festival. On November 18th the official World Premiere takes place at IDFA in Amsterdam.

WE WILL BE ON TV!
This weekend will be quite special as the Royal Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark have invited us to play live on Danish TV on Saturday (Oct 6th) at their annual cultural award show. We will perform The Ghost together with Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester. Tune in if you are able to. It starts at 21:00 Danish time. We open the whole thing.

After this TV performance our tour continues with concerts across Europe. New dates have been added to our Tour – have a look here: efterklang.net/home/concerts

September 22nd we celebrated the release of our new album Piramida in New York City. We played the album in full at a sold out concert at the Metropolitan Museum of Art together with The Wordless Music Orchestra and conductor Matthew Coorey. It was a very special night for us. Hard to describe why, it was just magic.

Q2/WQXR recorded most parts of the concert for broadcast and it is possible to stream this recording now at Q2/WQXR’s website and also via NPR’s Concert Series website. The recording turned out really nice Q2/WQXR sat up an amazing mobile studio with lots of nice analog gear and they were so incredible nice to work with.

PIRAMIDA is released today in Europe, Asia, Oceania and tomorrow also in North America!

We hope you will be interested in listening to our album. There are many ways to do so. It is on iTunes and other digital sites, and also Spotify and other streaming sites. We highly recommend the vinyl version of Piramida. It comes in an amazing packaging design by Hvass&Hannibal. They also did the CD design, which is a book style deluxe cover with a thick booklet. You can purchase these in any decent record store and also via our own webshop.

We are all currently in New York and we are still beaming from Saturday’s sold out concert at The Metropolitan Museum of Art with The Wordless Music Orchestra. An unforgettable night. We recommend this photo report btw – really nice photos. There is also a very nice review in todays New York Times.
